Title: Japanese at again
Post by: Rosco5000 on Saturday,January 11, 2020, 12:32:32 PM

Found this on my Instagram feed from Tokyo Auto Salon show.  I think it might be a reinvention of the red car from a few years ago.  Definitely not everyone’s taste but there is a Europa under there somewhere.

The Japanese do like Europa's. I wonder what engine is hiding under the fancy bodywork?

The car is made by RE Amemiya which is one of the most famous rotary engine tuners in the world. The car is a development of the red car they did some years ago. The chassis is still a backbone type of some sort. The engine is a 20b, three rotor engine, which makes totally sense as they are specialists for rotary engines.
